A post just about Ammon

Ammon is now 15 months old and I feel like he deserves a post all to himself since so much has happened in his little life.

* Ammon is now walking!!!! It's taken him a little bit longer than some kids but he is doing it and LOVES it.
* He still loves dogs and gets so excited to see them.

* He loves to talk but not in public. He can say mama, dada, wawa (water), ball, dog, book, more, and a whole bunch of jibberish.
* he knows all of your face parts
* He loves to blow kisses and loves to give kisses on the mouth. I think this is my favorite one so far. He will just sit there and kiss you forever. If you try to move, he will move with you until he is done.
* He is still small for his age, I think he weighs 19 lbs so he is in the 5% for his age for weight. We are tying so hard to fatten him up but he is a very picky eater. So for you mothers who have the solution to fatten your children who won't eat, please let me know the secret.
* Ammon loves to go up and down the stairs and he is Fast! The other day he fell down from the top of the stairs to the bottom for the first time. That was the saddest thing ever. I didn't see it, but I heard it and it was horrible. He and his dad were climbing up the stairway together. When Matt reached the top he rounded the corner with Ammon right on his heels but then Ammon decided to turn around and go back down. Before Matt could get to him, he tumbled. Ammon screamed and cried and had his parents worried to death! Happily, 10 min later he was acting himself and playing as if nothing happened. He walked away with a few bumps and bruises. We are so lucky that nothing extreme happened to him.
* He loves music. Whenever he hears it he starts to sing. He can also lead music. He learned that from the chorister in church all by himself.
* He loves to help with laundry, except instead of folding it he unfolds it. Momma loves that!
* He loves to talk on the phone to grandparents and mostly to dada when he calls.
* He loves bath time and hates it when he has to get out.
* He loves to help clean the house. He will find our hand vacuum and will go all around the house pretending to vacuum.
* He loves to do high pitch screams, which drives me crazy after 5 mins but I can't get him to stop.
* We recently discovered that he has a little 'security blanket' It's one of his stuffed dogs. It is so cute! Before and after he goes to bed and wakes up he always wants it. Once he gets it he just hugs it and holds on tight.
* He is amazing at throwing balls, at least I think he is. He can throw them pretty far.
* He wants to be independent right now. Some times it drives us crazy, but then again it is so cute to see his little personality.
* He loves to blow. If he finds any cotton balls or dust bunnies he will sit there forever blowing on them and watching them move. He also loves to blow on the window and see it fog up. It's so fun to see him figure things out.


* Ammon is just like his mom when it comes to cake batter and cookie dough, He loves to eat it.
